Preschoolers PROCESS their THINKING




Preschoolers started Tuning in with the new unit on How The World Works. They have unlocked the Central Idea "All Living Things go through a process of change."  and identified the words to gain a deeper understanding on the unit. 

Words they came up with for our Chalk Talk Activity
Living Things: with heart | breathe | needs air and water | grow | move | needs love |
Process: goes round and round | first and then...
Change: .. from one thing to another

Using the Think, Puzzle, Explore sheet they have discussed in small groups about the different animals. They wrote down their thinking and things that puzzle them. 


 



Together as a class, we looked at the animals and sorted them according to animal groups. It was an interesting discussion and Preschoolers have proven how they have developed on becoming THINKERS and INQUIRERS.

Our Family

Community is a place where people live together.  Our Family Our School Our Community The preschoolers identified themselves as an important member or these groups.  Roles are parts that everyone play. We have the Superheroes like Batman, Spiderman and other characters in movies.  But what are the things that they do? Those are their responsibilities. Just like us, we all have our responsibilities.  The Family Family is the smallest group in a community.  Some families are big. Some families are small. But they live together in the same house and do things together and take care of each other.   Using their puppets the preschoolers imagined and created a story of things that they did as a family. They had so much fun presenting in the class, changing their voices creating background sounds and simply telling their stories! We also played the Yes, No, Maybe corners where the students decided if they agreed or disagreed with the questions given to them about ...
